What is the 60/70 hour rule?

The 60/70 hour rule is part of the FMCSA’s hours-of-service regulations for drivers of commercial vehicles. The hours-of-service regulations contain safety requirements such as how long drivers can drive during a shift, when they’re required to take a break, and how much time they have to take off between shifts.

According to the 60/70 hour limit, drivers may not drive after 60/70 hours on duty in 7/8 consecutive days. Drivers can restart a 7/8 consecutive day period after taking 34 or more consecutive hours off duty.
